Good Morning! I bought a Filet Mignon roast yesterday. I am going to slice it up and we are going to have grilled FM, green beans and I have no idea what else..

Have a great day!

And we had baked ravioli. Now, there is just no way to make a photo of baked ravioli look appetizing. So, I decided to post the scariest one! Open at your peril:

:rotfl:

So, tonight I am either making the mutter paneer (I've been saying that all week), or I am doing a southern style fish fry with slaw and hush puppies and fried green tomatoes. My southern wfd friends, do you serve a sauce with fried green tomatoes? Are they tasty? I've never had them before but picked up some green tomatoees at the farm on a whim because they were only 75 cents/lb.
 
Good morning ladies! Well, never made the sausage and peppers last night. My cold got the best of me, so everyone had leftovers. Not sure about tonight, we normally have a church thingy every other Friday night when someone else cooks dinner. But I"ve yet to hear from anyone, so we'll see. I'll be babysitting my niece overnight as well, so no matter what, it will be child friendly!

Lori--Have a great trip!:yay:

LOL about the booze packing discussion!:rotfl:
 
Well, there's no specific rule against PVC, so I'm hoping. I figure they're sealed bottles (which are ok) and I'll have open ends so they can look at them- I'm going to use a Sharpie to label "Fragile- Glass" and I can sticker "wine" or "glasses" on there so they Know.

We're at the airport waiting to head to DL! Why else would I be the first one to be here in the morning?!?:eek:

ETA: Gretchen, you were in my thoughts this morning. Diet Coke was my absolute first stop after security. Hope you're holding up girl!

I hope you have an incredibly fun time!!! Let me know how things go!!!
 

Tonight I am making breakfast for dinner. I am making scrambles with turkey sausage and Glynis's blueberry muffins, with a twist. You suggested this awhile back and I'm going to try it. I'm going to use frozen blueberries and lemon pie filling. I will let you know how they turn out.

WFD at your house?

ETA: Hey Glynis, I have a muffin question for you. I have been using salted butter in the muffins. I think all I have today is unsalted. Is that ok to use?

I think that would be just fine! I usually use salted, but I have done them with unsalted, and can't remember that there was a big difference. Can't wait to hear how the lemon/blueberry goes!
 
I'm not sure what we're having for dinner tonight. It depends on whether Alan wants to go out tonight or not! You know what I'm pushing for!

The weather is taking a dramatic turn today. Right now, our temperature is 46 degrees. We're supposed to warm to a high of 59. Brrr! The weather people are forecasting rain all day tomorrow with a possibility of snow! I think some warm comfort food is in order for tomorrow. Not sure what, though. Suggestions???

Yes put a sauce on those green tomatoes, it's TDF yummy! I've done this sauce & topped them with grilled shrimp.

1 oz. butter 1 oz. chopped fresh parsley 4 oz. cream 1 oz. freshly grated parmesan cheese 4 oz. Caravella Limoncello

Here's the old pic:

They are most often served with a remoulade sauce or shrimp creole sauce on top. Good luck I can't wait to see what you come up with!!!

But I'm still waiting to see your mutter paneer dish too! :goodvibes
 
Morning Y'all,

Don't know if Lori took her pipe along on this trip! Let's hope if she did, she's not locked up in Airport Security!!!

I won't be cooking this weekend! We have a great local fest in Kathy's little town this weekend. And this year they have really gotten some big name groups in! The Beach Boys, The Tempations, Travis Tritt, Dickie Betts! So that's where we'll be all weekend. So much for losing weight before F&W Fest! :confused3 I'm so hoping that a little rest. from Acadian country will be back with their Quail, Duck & Andouille Gumbo!!!! That gumbo is the absolute best I've EVER had!!! Okay now I'm hungry! That starts this evening.

Now I have to tell y'all I am sold on Ground Turkey! I made Lindsay's Boo Burgers last night ( there on page 25 called Smokey Chicken Patties I think) and they rocked!!! As Lindsay recommended I used Turkey instead of chicken. I also added cumin & used a zester to get the garlic very fine also per her suggestions. The only changes I made, ( come on, y'all know I can't possibly stick exactly to a recipe!) was I used parsley but also added cilantro, added a little more black pepper & about 1/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Can I tell you these were delicous!!!

THANK YOU LINDSAY!!!

I took pics, but the camera card was in the computer & now I can't figure out how to get the pics onto the card. So when my poor DH can tell me how to do it AGAIN, I'll post the pics for y'all!

I've got lots of running to do today. Get some coffee in the mail & Haul off all the stuff I've pulled out of my closet to Good Will, so I can start on the bathroom linen closet & the den closet. Ugh. Aimee, I feel your pain!

Did Kathy check in here yesterday? She's been incognito awhile now. I'll go look..

Hope everyone has a great day!

She was here yesterday...not yet today. I sent her a PM a while ago and she has not responded. Hopefully just a busy morning...Did she check in on the NO board?

Kathy, where are you???

Yes, she hasn't been there either. I pm'd her just a second ago. I'll stay on it!
 
I am so jealous of y'all that have cooler temps! Someone mentioned the last camping trip of the season - our camping season hasn't even started! We haven't dipped blow 90 yet and I will not camp in the heat.

*sigh*

Where is fall?

Tonight we are meeting friends at a hole in the wall italian place they told us about. They are bringing the wine and I'm bring a designated driver! =)
 
Finally with the help of my DearH, I was able to move the pic of last night's dinner. Doesn't look so good after all that work!

Lindsay's Boo Burgers

100_1654.jpg


I thought they had a mexican flavor, but DH thought they tasted a lot like cajun sausage. And for the first time I didn't add any cajun spices to it! :confused3 He thinks I should rename them Cajun Turkey Burgers!

As y'all can see, I served them on a bun with a bit of Mexican Crema (sour cream) on the bun with lettuce & tomato & a side of light cole slaw.

Now that I'm finally done moving those darn pictures, I've got to get a move on. Man that's half my day gone. :confused3 How'd that happen? ugh
 
:banana: :cool1: :dance3: Our HA bathroom remodel has been approved!!! :goodvibes They threw out the low bidder that had gone bankrupt, so that's good. They contractor we wanted is all approved & we might get going next week!!


:eek: :scared1: AAAAhhhh! I've still got to get the vanity, bathroom closet, the den closet cleaned out. The dresser drawers emptied out. Aaack, I've got to get busy!!!

I guess I won't be festing this weekend.

I'm with ya on that. We had bit of coolness in the mornings earlier this week because the humidity had gone down. But boy its back with a vengence today!

Great News!! Sorry bout the fest tho. Will the work be able to continue while you are in WDW? Maybe some of the messier stuff while you are not there??

It's family dinner night at our house. We'll be grilling burgers and have some pasta on the side.
 
Hey!
Dinner tonight will be our Favorite Mexican Restaurant.
I think I'm gonna have the Fajitas - That should fill me up!! Oh - and a Monster Margarita!!
:drinking1

Cheers!!

How fun and exciting though! I am still trying to decide which color to paint our walls! I've lived there for over 2 years, and they are still stark white, except for the 1/2 bath that i did in a hyacinth blue on a whim. home improvements are so stressful!

YUM! Tonight is my "cheat night" on the calorie counting..going to sushi/chinese with a couple of my girlfriends ,i had healthy sushi last night, so tonight might be a tempura shrimp n ight and a couple of Sapporos! Please tell me some of you have tried that delightful Japanese beer.YUM!!!!

WOW! SNOW! :scared1: We are hot here and it is just weird. We have had no rain and no frost so the foliage is not going to be as showy. I hope you get to eat out.

I hope Lori is well on her way, not blinding some security guard with her boa! :lmao::lmao:Lime green takes a little getting used to.

Kathy was in and out yesterday.

Sorry about your fest...you had me hungry just thinking about it. Just so what you can, Sheryl, it will all be done in time.


Sorry if I missed anyine. I have a party downstate to go to, and I am running way late. It is a fancy 30th Bday party and is about 90 minutes away, Buddy is not getting home to go so I am hitching a ride with my neighbor. The meal should be good.
 
Hi Y'all,

I decided to start cleaning out some more before hauling off. Taking a lunch break now.

Nancy have fun at the party! Don't worry I'll have to take a break at some point & go get some of that good food!

Zipuzee, Hopefully if we can get it all going soon, he can do the ripping out while we're in WDW! I trust this contractor to be in my house on his own & Bob's brother has agreed to check in daily on the work! We've just got to get it all pulled together & get started.

Gina, Enjoy your Sappora! You know me, even on a diet, I have a "good" sushi roll, so I can include the proper complementing beverage! I'm also doing a bit of a freak on about picking out everything! I have it all in my mind but nothing & I mean nothing has actually been picked out!
 
Hey all,

A quick hello I have been packing Ross up to go to the inlaws this weekend, and Kris and I to go to Bar Harbor. We will be back on Sunday for Ross football game.
Tonight will be at a fav mexican watering hole on the way. Tomorrow lobster!

My surgery is scheduled for 9:45 Monday morning, I have to be there for 8:15.

I spoke to Kathy today on PM. She will check in at some point I am sure, she knows how we worry.

Sheryl- I am so glad that things are a GO for the bath renovation!!

Nancy- I hope you had a great time at the party, but please be careful with that knee!!

Lori--I hope you check in while on your trip, so we know that you are not being questioned for your use of PVC pipe and neon boa's???


For those that are leaving on vacation to WDW soon, if I don't get on here somehow before you go, please have a fun and safe trip!!

Kris will PM Kathy Monday afternoon, and she will let you all know how things went.

Love you guys! "talk soon"
